Low-Density Vs. High-Density Wigs

Depending on your age, natural hair type, and the result you are looking for, you may want to pick a specific density of wig. Let's go through the options and see which is best for you.

Low-Density Wigs

Many people choose low-density wigs because it mimics a person's natural hair type. This is perfect with people for naturally thin hair and who are trying to get away with no one noticing they recently switched to a wig. Low-density wigs are also a great, natural-looking option for older women as hair naturally thins with age.

If you are planning to wear your wig for long periods of time, a low-density wig is a good choice as it is lighter and provides more air to your scalp.

High-Density Wigs

Many people choose high-density wigs because it gives them a fuller hairstyle than what they could achieve with their natural hair. High-density wigs often come off looking like wigs, since very few people have such thick, full hair.

Extremely High-density wigs are popular in theater and people looking for a very glamorous hairstyle. Unfortunately with high-density wigs are heavier and provide less airflow to your scalp.
